Monoblos is so annoying. A worse Diablos that keeps on stabbing you.
Click to expand...

Since Monoblos came first, it's technically like Diablos was a less aggressive Monoblos :D.

Although, I'm sure Monoblos is much different in this game than he used to be. I haven't fought him yet. I'm in G1 but I've been too lazy to progress more offline.

Oh they did, you just didn't fight Diablos until some time after Monoblos in the first MH.

Edit:

Actually, I just looked it up. I completely forgot things like this happened in the older games. You actually wouldn't unlock the offline Diablos quest ever unless you made at least one piece of Monoblos armor.

Interesting but annoying way to unlock a quest. Just like Monoblos.

Dat tongue on pouch action.

Edit: Imagine if you could waste carves with chances to accidentally get your shit back instead of Chameleos materials. Incentive to never get tongued.

I've fought it online where the thievery gets spread around but solo it was absurd. Took my max potions, lifepowders and at least half of my antidotes.

I'd totally forgo carves if it meant not getting robbed blind

My gunlance game has changed for the better ever since I tried spamming charged shells instead of thrusts. This weapon is a beast.

All I remember with the GL is sneaking in wyvernfire whenever I could, my GL's were pretty much on cooldown the entire time I was playing through p3rd.

I might revisit it but other weapons call.

When I fought it on psp, I don't remember if it could steal shit like Armorcharms/Powercharms. That shit would make me rage if it could.

Oh man, you reminded me about that auto-guard exploit in P3rd. Gunlances were really OP in that game.

Started working on Sergio's armor and I haven't even got that urgent quest yet lol. Is his armor good for G rank ?
Click to expand...

Defense-wise, yes. Skill-wise, I don't really care for it. Edge Lore (Steady Hand) is cool and all but I'd rather have straight damage boosts like Edge Master (Honed Blade).

Edit: Disregard my post, I didn't notice it had 10 slots, like toast said. That's an insane number of slots.

Any help on what I can do to get more Butterfly Beetles?
Click to expand...

You can literally only get them from people you send out as Hunters for Hire. So just keep doing that. If you wanna rush it, send 'em out and just keep doing the Steak Your Ground 1* offline quest.

Edit: Oh, yeah, higher ranked quests will have a higher chance of them bringing you butterfly beetles, but the highest probability is only 12%.

You mean a harvest tour? Those also end by turning in a ticket that appears in the supply box after being in the quest for 2 minutes.

The purpose is to be a free gathering quest to just do whatever. You go do whatever, go to camp, turn in the ticket and end the quest at your leisure.
Click to expand...

Oh wow, I had no idea ticket appears out of nowhere in the chest. Thx!

Man, Regios X set is deadly when you have the right charm. I have a Critical+2 and Earplug set, Attack Up (XL) set, and if I have the gem, I could make a Sharpness+1 and Divine Protection set. That slot number is crazy.

You know my utmost fear farming Chameleos is that one day I will carved a gem out of it body, then just as the battle goes on it tongue hits me. You know what might be stolen.

Yep, now that I see those slots, I'm definitely building it.

I'd have Steady Hand, Constitution+2, Negate Bleeding, Critical Eye+4, and Guard Boost.

Psst. This means you're helping me farm it. Though, I won't have much time to play for the next day or two.

Is Blast actually balanced in this game? I finally built the Dios Axe (swax user here) and it still seems... strong. Maybe a better question is: in which instances should I be using a Blast weapon?

Click to expand...

I haven't reached it in single player, but considering G rank was a pushover even in just my high rank armor (to be fair, though, it's a damn good set), I doubt he'll be much trouble in singleplayer.

Extremely obvious tells, and impressively tight hitboxes on attacks.

It's strong, but not overpowered. I generally use blast element for quests with multiple monsters that have different weaknesses.

It's pretty tough the first time you fight it due to it being different from every other monster in the series.

The thing is you have a terrain advantage in the G rank quest, you don't in the single player quest.

I hope you ready to scratch my back by farming Molten Tigrex then.

It's quite tiresome as lancer user. since it'll barrage you with attack. I think against Seregios, mobility is much better later on when you figured its pattern.And one other thing, it seems Seregios gives less feedback when attacked by weapon. It feels like.....my attacks were missing

Yeah, Ancient Steppe and all of its jumping spots make it laughably easy to mount Seregios, not even counting how weak it is to mount attack.

Sounds like fun to me. Though both of you will probably be way beyond it before I can play again.

Edit: Also, I do agree that mounting is too easy on that first g rank regios, but me saying it was a pushover was more referring to how I was able to consistently guard point and capitalize even on our first run. I was surprised, especially since I was half asleep, if you remember.

Is there a Basarios quest later in the game? I'm rank 3 online / caravan 5

I need to farm him for a Nibelsnarf set and he won't show up in my expeditions

Psychic+20.

Actually, I wouldn't mind it either, just so I have every monster available to fight whenever I want. I'll post a room and edit this post with the info. I'm still doing homework but I'll leave it up so Saturn can join whenever.

Edit:

Edit 2: Saturnine, I'll be in this room for another hour. I have the quest now (along with a few other expedition exclusive monsters from Elise. Come by if you want 'em. Hell, anyone who wants:

Kirin, Basarios, Garuga, or Ruby Basarios, come in. I won't be very talkative. I have less than 1.5 hours to finish this homework.

Edit 3: Lol, Kinsei, I just realized I don't even have regular Kut-ku. I'd like to get that from you some time. No rush. Not like I wanna farm the chicken for anything. I just want it for completion's sake.

It took an obscene amount of money and items that aren't even listed but I followed Gaijin Hunter's guide for getting effect extender making the same Hazy Caster Insect Glaive.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQdXcphlhmc

One thing I'm not sure about is, I only have 2 Power ++ Nectars. Can I just do that last upgrade later when I get some more?
Click to expand...
Yep. That's exactly what I did (but I have 9 ++ nectars). I'm actually stick on the lvl 12 upgrade because I need another Lrg Elder Dragonbone. The bug is awesome without it, add honestly the attack boost you will get from the upgrades won't mean much because you send it half the times now anyway.

Now I'm really not sure how I want to hone this weapon...

Grand total to make it to Hazy Caster lvl 11: >400k zenny.

You can farm up the nectars you need in G expeditions fairly quickly. Look for red/blue pine cones on the ground.

Thank you, but I doubt I will be. I really won't have much time to play until either late tomorrow, or possibly even not until Friday.

Edit: Although, if I happen to be on GAF and see you active, I will definitely hop on for a few minutes.

Thanks. Also, thank you, Shengar. Sheng just gave me a Basarios+Kut-ku. I do still want a Kut-ku by itself, too, though.

Edit: Only 87 kanji and several sentences left to write. Only about 45 minutes left. I can do this.

Sorry that my guild quest isn't pure Yian Kut-ku :(

So beside Kirin, Yian Kut-ku, and Basarios, what other monsters that exclusive to guild quest?
